Summary
Hat Kid returns to grab the one Time Piece that she missed during her first visit. But of course, that's easier said than done. For starters, Time Pieces do not take kindly to being left to their own devices for too long. And this particular Time Piece happens to be in a location she knows little to nothing about.
Hey, you know what would help? Bringing some friends! How about, you know...
...those two guys who cannot be in the same room for more than thirty seconds without arguing?Basically: DJ Grooves and the Conductor have to work together. It's not ideal.
This is a sequel to "To Bird or not to Bird" and while you don't technically NEED to read that first to understand this story, I'd still recommend it. A lot of Conductor's mannerisms and oddities will not make sense otherwise. Also, please note that this is going to be more story-focussed and serious than "To Bird or not to Bird".Series

Long Way Down (To the Bottom of the Basement) by the_angst_alchemist

Summary
There’s only one step left in Conductor’s plan for the night of the Awards Ceremony: He has to get to the lower basement, and do it before the lass can get involved. There are only two ways this night can end, after all, and one of them could be the end of his career.
It would be much easier if the elevator didn’t belong in the trash heap with all of DJ Grooves’ movies. -

Summary
The Conductor is most certainly not a bird. And engages in activities that are most certainly not birdlike. Activities that puzzle and frighten those who happen to stumble in on them - which, nine times out of ten, happens to be DJ Grooves. And Grooves is slowly starting to realize that the Conductor is not in fact a bird...
...unlike the Conductor himself, who is convinced that his oddities are all perfectly normal.There are a few stories flying around about the Conductor being stressed, insecure or angry about his lack of bird-ness and the resulting questions. And that's all nice and well, but you know what would be equally fun? Him being completely oblivious to it! So here is a series of oneshots about him doing very un-bird-like things without ever realizing it!

Summary
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a cold-hearted, jealous queen who cursed her one true love to an afterlife of misery and loneliness. Trapped in a manor he once called home, the prince grew as cold-hearted as the queen once was.
Once upon a time, in a not-so-faraway land, lived a person with a heart of gold and a kickass little sister who went on adventures.
This is the story of how their fates intertwined on one fateful winter's day.
_________________________________________________________________________This is a purely self-indulgent Beauty and the Beast AU of A Hat in Time. I fell in love with the game and the characters and, dangit, there aren't enough Snatcher/Reader fics, so I come bearing this gift to contribute. Hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed thinking about the concept and never actually doing anything about it till now!

Summary
Guybrush wakes up to an unfamiliar thing staring at him. From there, he's pulled into a murder investigation in a desperate attempt to exonerate his lovely wife, meeting colorful characters from the other games on the computer along the way. Maybe he'll finally figure out a few things about what a "computer game" actually is, too.
(In other words: A completely self-serving crossover, with Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™ as the main character, solely because I've been having a blast playing Monkey Island and I wanted to write something silly to have fun with it.)

Summary
As one of the few humans in a town ran by birds, you had trouble making ends meet. Imagine your surprise when you find an advertisement for an internship in acting with the Moon Penguins at Dead Bird Studio, call to ask if you can still apply and immediately get accepted. Grooves is a very nice boss and expresses his gratitude for your application a lot, while his world-renowned rival does quite the opposite. From the moment you set foot in the studio, The Conductor seemed to immediately dislike you. He wouldn't so much as look at you when you greeted him and never seemed to even consider being nice to you in the public eye. In private... you honestly didn't know.
That was soon to change, however. DJ Grooves notices your interest in his rival and, albeit reluctantly, sets up a plan to give the two of you some time away from prying eyes. Will this be your chance to set right what went wrong on your first day? Does The Conductor even still think that lowly of you?

Feeling backed into a corner mid fight, Hat Kid offers The Conductor a patented Time Traveler’s Deal: He may use the Time Piece to change his past, on the condition that she be allowed to show him his new present and future.
Its a terrifying gamble, but changed futures rarely turn out good for those who meddle with Time.
